Rig Veda
tava tya indra sakhyeṣu vahnaya ṛtam manvānā vy adardirur valam yatrā daśasyann uṣaso riṇann apaḥ kutsāya manmann ahyaś ca daṃsayaḥ
Allied with thee in friendship, Indra, these, thy priests, remembering Holy Law, rent Vritra limb from limb, When they bestowed the Dawns and let the waters flow, and when thou didst chastise dragons at Kutsa's call.
avāsṛjaḥ prasvaḥ śvañcayo girīn ud āja usrā apibo madhu priyam avardhayo vanino asya daṃsasā śuśoca sūrya ṛtajātayā girā
Thou sentest forth productive powers, clavest the hills, thou dravest forth the kine, thou drankest pleasant meath. Thou gavest increase through this Tree's surpassing might. The Sun shone by the hymn that sprang from Holy Law.
vi sūryo madhye amucad rathaṃ divo vidad dāsāya pratimānam āryaḥ dṛḍhāni pipror asurasya māyina indro vy āsyac cakṛvāṁ ṛjiśvanā
In the mid-way of heaven the Sun unyoked his car: the Arya found a match to meet his Dam foe. Associate with Rijisvan Indra overthrew the solid forts of Pipru, conjuring Asura.
This verse is not included in this edition.
He boldly cast down forts which none had e'er assailed: unwearied he destroyed the godless treasure-stores. Like Sun and Moon he took the stronghold's wealth away, and, praised in song, demolished foes with flashing dart.
ayuddhaseno vibhvā vibhindatā dāśad vṛtrahā tujyāni tejate indrasya vajrād abibhed abhiśnathaḥ prākrāmacchundhyūr ajahād uṣā anaḥ
Armed with resistless weapons, with vast power to cleave, the Vritra-slayer whets his darts and deals fordi wounds. Bright Ushas was afraid of Indra's slaughtering bolt: she went upon her way and left her chariot there.
etā tyā te śrutyāni kevalā yad eka ekam akṛṇor ayajñam māsāṃ vidhānam adadhā adhi dyavi tvayā vibhinnam bharati pradhim pitā
These are thy famous exploits, only thine, when thou alone hast left the other bereft of sacrifice. Thou in the heavens hast set the ordering of the Moons: the Father bears the felly portioned out by thee.
